We Missed the Exit but It Was Not Our Fault.
Spencer, James M.
Social Education, v56 n3 p143-44 Mar 1992
Suggests that public school education in the last 50 years has been altered most dramatically by the interstate highway system and no-fault divorce. Blames the highway system for destroying the sense of community and capacity for delayed gratification and challenge. Argues that no-fault divorce has resulted in loss of family values and responsibility. (DK)
